A prominent Republican fund-raiser who once said former President Bill Clinton was "a lawbreaker and a terrible example to our nation's young people" pleaded guilty yesterday in Baltimore Circuit Court to production of child pornography.

Richard Anthony Delgaudio, who was sentenced to two years' probation before judgment, admitted to taking lewd photographs of a 16-year-old girl he met in East Baltimore's Patterson Park in 2001. In some of the photos, he was engaged in sex with her, court records show.

The whole article here.

Doesn't it always seem the one to point the finger ends up being the worst offender?
 
Looks like the chickens have come home to roost.

You can bet your *ss that if it had been any of us in the same situation we would end up in prison.
 
Is the age of consent higher than the 16years, as it is here in the UK?
 
Another lying, hypocritic, perverted politician?

Who'd a thunk it....

Well, including Clinton, that makes at least two.

What are the implications if you are not a Clinton critic, and you get caught, dipping into underage girl?

Not much. A few paragraphs in the paper, a few smart comments on the internet, end of story.

One of the things which did for the UK Conservative party in the '90s was not so much that various MPs and ministers were caught with their trousers down but that at the same time they were banging on about "back to basics" and the importance of moral values. It was the "do as I say, not as I do" that pissed people off.

There have been several MPs who have been caught out but survived fairly unscathed because they were never moralisers. For example, Paddy Ashdown (ex leader of the Liberal Democrats) was revealed as having had a long term adulterous affair. He survived, largely because he had never been a moraliser (but earned the nickname "Paddy Pantsdown" - one of The Sun's better efforts).

It's not his fault! Everyone knows that Republicans are always fighting their inner repressed urges. It's part of their nature, in fact, it's why they are Republicans in the first place. Sometimes it just overwhelms them. Feel sympathy...

On the other hand, Democrats have free will and make CHOICES. That is why Clinton is guilty, and does not deserve our sorrow.

What did Clinton do that was "perverted"?

My hat's cooler than yours.
 
Well, getting a hummer in the oval office seems perverted to me, at least at this stage of my life..

I really wasn't passing judgement, just voicing an opinion.. ( perversion is not necessarily always bad.. IMO)

I'm probably going to lose the hat some day, but not while it's such a source of amusement to some.. :D

It varies from state to state. The Chief Master At Arms on my ship once told me that in his state, North Carolina I think, the legal age of consent was 14, as long as they weren't a virgin. I was like, huh? So the first person to have sex with a kid is breaking the law, but not the second.

I don't know if that is true.
 
In Maryland the age of consent is 16.

Luke, I think the answer to your question is that the girl can lose her virginity to another minor legally, isn't it? It looks like you were thinking of good 'ol Mississippi.

According to your link, I guess it was Mississippi.

Mississippi 16 - If the female is over 12, the status applies only to virgins.

So the status does not apply to non-virgins. How bizarre is that?

I remember seeing that a few years ago and puzzling over it too. The only explanation I could come up with was that the age of consent was 12 (embarrassing in modern times) and they wanted to raise it to 16 -- but not turn the minors who were already having sex into felons. So they stuck the virgin thing in there as sort of a grandfather clause. At least that makes a little sense. :)

When Clinton was being attacked by Kenneth Starr and various republican politicians, didn't Larry Flynt (of Hustler magazine fame) offer a reward to anyone who managed to prove people attacking Clinton were doing 'immoral' stuff themselves? I seem to remember he managed to catch one or 2.
 
Bob Livingston ( who resigned) and Henry Hyde ( who did not)
Although I do not remember who outed them.
I do recall Hyde referred to his affair , and I think an illegitimate child as a "youhtful indiscretion". He was in his forties when it happened.
 
In my opinion, the "Most-Immoral-Politician-To-Criticize-Clinton" Award goes to Newt Gingrich (who, unfortunately, is still an influential member on the political scene as a member of Rumsfeld's "Defense Policy Council").

What could be more morally reprehensible than going to your wife's hospital bedside where she just got out of surgery for ovarian cancer and telling her you're leaving her for another woman?

What a jerk.
